Chapter 407

Lomine's night is more lively than other times.

In this city, both civilians and nobles will have their own different fun. Of course, the greatest fun is to spend a night in Binks wine. Especially after eight o'clock every night, when Binks' wine is the most lively, perhaps for the civilians, the only 15 barrels of wine limit makes some people who can't buy wine very unhappy, but compared with the nobles, the wine purchased during this period is undoubtedly the cheapest.

Whether it's Binks' wine, the fourth century's wine or even a bloody smile, you only need two silver coins for a cup at this time.

A barrel of good wine can roughly pour out about 30 cups.

There are five barrels of each of the three fine wines, which is 150 cups. Although the quantity is not large, this restriction is accompanied by the restriction that each person can only buy one cup in an hour, which is enough to ensure that every civilian who comes to the tavern during this period can drink a cup of fine wine. Usually, just after nine o'clock, the bloody smile will be sold out, and then there will be the wine of the fourth generation or the wine of Binks.

The main reason for this is that wine, as a noble drink, can not be consumed by ordinary civilians. In Binks' tavern, two silver coins can enjoy the drinks of nobles. Out of some vanity, bloody smile is the fastest and most sold wine - whether civilians or nobles. Therefore, under normal circumstances, after October every year, the wine tavern in Binks will stop selling blood colored smiles, and will not start selling again until the next summer, that is, April and may.

During this period, the sales of the other two wines will soar and will not begin to decline until next summer.

Tonight, Sean, Alfred and Arnold didn't leave the tavern, but chose to sit in the big round hall on the first floor of the tavern. According to the information provided by alikate, the old man with the architectural blueprint of Hastings manor will come here every night to drink. The first glass of wine must be a bloody smile, followed by another glass of Binks wine and wine of the fourth generation. After 9:00, he will ask for another bloody smile immediately, After that, it depends on the mood. Another glass of Binks wine or the wine of the fourth generation. In this way, the cost is a gold coin.

After spending this gold coin, the old man will leave the tavern.

As the chief designer and architect of the whole Hastings manor, although the old man is not a noble, he can also be regarded as a celebrity in lomine, so his sense of existence is very high. It is said that many businessmen and nobles have dealt with him, so he is not very short of money. According to alikate, the old man will charge no less than 300 gold coins every time he helps people design architectural blueprints and layout. Judging from the fact that the old man consumes one gold coin a day in the tavern, this money is enough for him to spend a year, Of course, if other expenses are included, it is certainly not enough, but how can the old man only receive one list a year?

So if Sean wants to get the blueprint of Hastings, he must find a way to get close to the old man and start from him.

But the problem is that Sean and others can't use means such as coercion. Otherwise, the old man will ruin all Sean and others' plans as soon as he tells the Hastings family.

That's why Sean put his mind on the hour when the old man came to the pub in the evening.

It's the safest time to get close to the old man. If you go to find the old man during the day, you may be noticed by others, which will also make the next things difficult and troublesome.

Sean doesn't want too much trouble and accidents before he gets the territorial documents of panda.

As soon as 8 p.m. arrived, the whole tavern suddenly burst into an excited roar, which almost blew up the upstairs of the whole tavern.

Standing at the bar, Binks IV, the tavern owner whom Rena thought had the strength of the golden realm, stretched out his hands and pressed down in the void. The excited roar began to calm down gradually. However, in a few seconds, the whole bar became silent, which made Sean frown in surprise, He didn't expect that the influence of the tavern owner was so strong. I'm afraid even the Lord of lomine couldn't have such influence.

"The moment of wine carnival that everyone is looking forward to has finally come!" Binks IV smiled and said to the crowd, "I believe you already know the rules, so I won't say anything. What should we do for those who try, attempt and intend to violate the rules?"

"Throw them out!" The guests in the tavern burst into extremely loud roars.

"Good! So now I announce... "Binks IV deliberately paused here. Sean could even feel that all the drinkers had stopped breathing and heartbeat at this moment. He couldn't believe the strong sense of expectation." the wine Carnival officially began! "

"Oh!"

The players on the other side of the stage immediately played their instruments again. The beautiful and exciting music resounded through the whole tavern again, but it was soon completely covered up by the crazy roar of the drinkers. But the next moment, the sound of music, the cheers of drinkers and the dance of dancers on the stage were completely mixed. After a few seconds of silence, the whole tavern broke out the noise that a tavern should have.

Sean slowly withdrew his eyes and fell to a table in the corner.

There, an old man was sitting expectantly. He had just ordered his menu from a maid.

After a short wait, a maid walked towards an old man with a tray, and then put down the glass in the tray.

But different from Sean's imagination, the cup with a bloody smile is not a glass goblet, but a wooden cup with the same mouth as the cup used to hold wine in general pubs. If this kind of glass is used to hold wheat wine or rum, it is not only because the amount is sufficient, but also because of the material of the wooden glass, it will dilute the bitterness and astringency in wheat wine and rum. However, if it is used to hold wine, it is obviously inappropriate, because according to Sean's understanding of wine, wine is the most afraid of impurities, Even a little impurity will completely change and destroy the taste of wine.

Sean looked at Alfred and Arnold, who looked intoxicated after taking only one sip of this wine. In the end, it can only be attributed to ordinary people. I'm afraid they don't pay as much attention to everything as aristocrats. After all, two silver coins can drink such a large amount of wine, which is really a very valuable thing, even if it will destroy the taste of the wine.

But Sean couldn't drink his bloody smile.

Holding the cup in his hand, Sean got up and walked towards the old man.

The old man with a good reputation obviously didn't notice Sean's coming, or no one in the whole tavern would notice that Sean was coming towards the old man except the waitresses and Tavern owners and those who still worked hard on the stage, because everyone was immersed in his intoxication with wine. It was not until Sean sat in the chair opposite the old man and pushed the bloody smile in his hand in front of the old man that the old man looked up at Sean as if he had been awakened.

The old man should at least be over 50 this year. Perhaps because of the work of designers and architects, the old man is full of silver and has obvious senile spots on his body. But in the old man, Sean still saw many different things. First of all, his eyes were different from the turbid eyes of ordinary old people. The old man's eyes could still make people feel a kind of spicy.

It's not a fierce or other look, but the extreme self-confidence and even conceit formed by the old man's experience.

The second is the old man's hands.

His hands were very stable without the slightest trembling. Even if he raised the glass with one hand, which could obviously feel the weight, the old man still carried it very smoothly.

"Hello, I'm Fran dumoy, a Viscount who is about to become a local aristocrat." Sean smiled and explained to himself, "this glass of wine is specially invited because I respect your name, master."

The old man gave a faint reply, which seemed to disdain Sean's self introduction.

However, just when Sean thought the old man looked down on himself and was going to try to get close to the old man, the old man directly staged a scene that stunned Sean completely.

The old man smiled "bah" at the cup of bloody smile that Sean pushed in front of him. After spitting in, he leisurely picked up his cup of bloody smile and drank slowly.

Sean's facial muscles twitched fiercely. He didn't expect that the old man would be so shameless and take this glass of wine directly for himself in this way. However, Sean still needed to rely on the old man at this time, so he could only take this scene as not seeing it. He still looked at the old man with a smile, and then said, "I'm really ashamed to say that. I don't know how to call the master."

"Well, don't say what you have and what you don't have, just say your purpose." The old man glanced, "but I can say in advance that if you want me to help you design architectural drawings, you will not get them until the next year. At present, there are 19 people in front of you, two of them are local nobles, and the other five are also famous nobles. I dare not offend these seven people."

"The price is not a problem." Sean continued with a smile.

"If the price is not a problem, it's not your turn." The old man continued coldly, "except for these seven people, the twelve are well-known rich businessmen. Some even asked me to design a courtyard with 80000 gold coins, but he can only rank eighth Do you think your price can be higher than this? "

Hearing the old man's words, Sean had roughly judged what kind of man the old man was.

So he smiled and said confidently, "I can also give 80000 gold coins, and my requirements are very simple. As long as the master designs a manor design similar to Hastings manor, I will be very satisfied."

But different from Sean's imagination, the old man showed some vigilance on his face after hearing Sean's words, "manor You, an honorary nobleman who doesn't even have a territory, actually asked me to help you design a manor design? "
